Busy Girl Nails Fall 2013 Challenge Week 2: Pink Lattice Roses

Wow, another week has flown by so quickly and so I'm here again with week 2 of my Fall 2013 challenge hosted by Busy Girl Nails. Pink is my second favorite nail color next to purple and Orly La Vida Loca is such a classic color; a vibrant bright pink that is sure to brighten up your day.

To get this look:1. Apply two coats of Orly La Vida Loca. Allow to dry fully.2. Using Winstonia plate W110 and the bamboo lattice pattern design, stamp on a golden green color like China Glaze Agro3. Using a small detailing brush and Orly Smolder dab draw some small circles to represent the sizes of your roses.4. Handpaint in the details of the rose using Orly La Vida Loca.5. Add a touch of glitter to the roses. 6. Seal in your design with a fast drying top coat.

Welcome back everyone! Today I'm sharing my replication of the Wilton method to making Royal Icing and some simple decorations you can make with the Wilton tip 21. This is an open star tip and can be paired with a simple leaf tip like a Wilton 352 to make small drop flowers.

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
